Jezioro Skąpe, Natural lake in Chojnice County, Poland.
Jezioro Skąpe is an elongated lake in Chojnice County covering about 156 hectares. The body of water stretches for roughly 5 kilometers and features depths reaching up to 20 meters.
The lake was carved during the last ice age when melting glaciers cut deep channels through the landscape. This glacial action shaped the distinctive elongated form you see today.
Local fishermen have long worked these waters for pike and perch, and you can still see evidence of these traditions in how the lake is used today. The fishing culture remains woven into how the community relates to this place.
The southern shore has boat launching facilities accessible through a firm meadow bank. From there, dirt roads provide access for those planning water activities.
A narrow channel at the northern tip connects this lake to nearby Lake Łazy, creating a passage that only kayaks and small rowing boats can navigate. This hidden connection is often overlooked by casual visitors.
